really? Do you think she gets free cakes. Oh dear
Don’t know - you’re the one writing as if you know the ins and outs of her life!
But pre covid they would have ski holidays which looked pretty pricey? I don’t know - I don’t understand that world at all , but it looks wealthy to me
I’m absolutely fascinated by DB. She’s v quiet on her stories lately. Normally we’d be awash with pool shots, a ‘stacked’ wrist and assorted floaty gowns but not much doing this year. Agree with everyone about Laura. Loved WIT but now it’s all but ridiculous. Thanks Han for the thread.
Another day, another undisclosed #ad for Breitling (I know they get paid to promote them, as there was a big ad feature in the magazine a while back). The second one this week, as they featured them in the magazine on Tuesday with no disclosure.
Does wardrobe icons make its money through affiliate links then? Can’t see how that can be enough to support two salaries but what do I know? Smoke and mirrors isn’t it.
Yeah like any other influencer - affiliate links and brand payments like the Breitling one (and who knows what else because they never disclose).
ETA: They have a lot of employees (or at least staff) now, I doubt L&P are involved much at all with the day to day grind. They have the website, the magazine and insta so that's a lot of affiliate links especially where people are using the shopping buttons on the website for the £800 dresses

Thanks for that. Fascinating. I really don’t mind affiliate links as I enjoy seeing clothes I may not spot or from a new website or some such but the lack of disclosure is so infuriating. It totally puts me off clicking through any of those links as I don't appreciate being deceived.
Complete fraudsters and built on quick sand. They think they’re amazing but all I see are 3 middle aged women mummy bloggers pushing the same tat as everyone else. Nothing interesting or substantially different - no great style
Finally! I’ve been looking for a thread on Laura for a while. She seems to live a charmed life with her pretty house, husband and belongings but I had to unfollow years back over the whole ‘I want to say I was wearing Chloe’ white silk dress after giving birth debacle.
And then she was buying perfume for her baby to wear. URGH

I know that Laura has always been known for her dodgy non declared affiliate links. If someone asked her about an item she is not being paid to sell - she simply doesn’t respond. I think she may not be that bright - but she does have lovely taste. And I remember reading she was disappointed that she wasn’t as successful in commercialising WiT as some of her blogging competitors who started at the same time.
DB on the other hand is not really to my taste but at least she is professional and very upfront about everything she is selling. They do seem to be very well off - she has the benefit of family money and her home is beautiful (but I believe they bought it when they were much younger). I live her interiors taste. She does own expensive items but they are not the brands paying her to advertise.
I’m certain she would have a nanny / other help at home with the children and at their holiday home and her fit husband doesn’t appear to work.

The wardrobe icons Instagram is promoting some dresses today. I am so bored of these types of floaty dresses, it’s all we see from Laura these days! I want to see something new not the same old uninspiring frocks.
DB’s money is not smoke and mirrors. She’s very wealthy. Her husband calls himself a film director but it looks like he’s only ever made a couple of features which flopped and live off of her money. I like her though. Her lifestyle is clearly fabulous and she’s talented, but she never seems braggy about it?
DB instastories are another level. All the coordinated dinner parties and clothes. Looks beautiful but high maintenance 
I used to like wardrobe icons until I figured out their business model was based on people clicking undisclosed links and then I felt duped and stopped visiting the page. I don’t follow any of them anymore, their wafty gowns, fabric wallpaper and straw bags just felt so far removed from my life that they didn’t appeal. It’s all beyond pretentious. I had a peek at their pages after reading this thread and the white frames around the Instagram posts make me irrationally irritated as well and I don’t really know why 
I know I sound like a massive square but I hate seeing small kids on boats without life jackets on. It’s so risky.
They come across as disingenuous all 3 of them. I do like some of the edits but I purposefully wouldn’t buy anything they suggest or even click on a link knowing they are making money out of me. Would rather enter the website (& other stories for instance) directly through the brands website. Smoke and mirrors.

So "DB" "hopped on a plane" from Ibiza to Majorca (were there no boats?) for a holiday from her holiday... meanwhile us plebs are stuck either holidaying in the UK or not having a holiday at all (
). How the other half live eh!
Meanwhile in today's issue of WI...
- Laura "invested" in a £990 pair of boots last year (i.e. in the worst of the pandemic)
- We are lectured on what to wear to work, which is odd because not everyone works in an office, and neither Laura nor Petro has ever worked in an office that wasn't at a fashion publication
- a £70 water bottle that has a crystal in it (won't lie, I love it haha) (oh wait, actually these are mentioned twice!)
- liberal overuse of the terms "investing", "iteration", "opt", "reach", "pieces", "pairing", "elevating"
- a £25,000 Rolex (their Breitling partnership must have come to an end)
- a £120 diffuser that is a must have for any workspace
- Soho Home diaries mentioned 3 times
- a £210 glass ornament for the home office
There are actually lots of things I like too but as Nancy says I won't be clicking their links
